Yes, it is possible, if you have the right remote. I don't know how to do it through JP1, but with an OneForAll remote control (such as the URC-6131 that I have), you can actually map the buttons from one mode to another.
So, as an example of how I'd do it: 1. Setup my TV button to work with my TV. 2. Setup my PVR button (I actually used the remote's built-in functionality to make my PVR button a second VCR button, since the Hauppauge RC-5 uses a VCR code). 3. You would then use the function of the remote (I think they call it "Keymover", but I don't remember right now) to copy the TV definition of VOL+/- and POWER to the same buttons in PVR mode. This can all be accomplished without a JP1 cable. If you choose to go the JP1 route, you can do a similar thing, I'm sure, but I've never used JP1, so I can't explain how to do it. My understanding of JP1 is that it acts at a much lower level, actually specifying the pulses, so you can program every button to any IR signal you wanted, including that of an IR keyboard. -- Joe --- Michael Tiller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This sounds interesting.
